Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Colorado
I was taking a picture of a pigeon on a ledge at the Three Graces rock formation when this man sauntered up to me (and I mean sauntered). I don't know how old he is, but I do know that he had a wonderful smile.
He didn't move fast...I guess that wasn't important to him. He's lived in Colorado Springs for eleven years. He grew up in northern Germany, and he smiled. Did I say that already?
I don't know if the man is a Christian, he needed to keep moving rather than talk, but his walk spoke to me of our walk with God. It's not speed walking. Our walk with God is a stroll.
"No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8 New Living Translation
This man's walk was one of humility. It was slow and deliberate, yet it had grace. There was a rhythm and beauty to his stroll.
God calls us to walk humbly with him. This walk is deliberate and filled with grace. There is a rhythm to our walk with God, and as we stroll with God he puts a smile on our face.
By the way, when I passed this old gentleman not long after I took this picture, he turned to me and once again said "hi" with his lovely German accent and heart melting smile.
